San Antonio has an extensive history of being a welcoming place for the LGBTQ+ community. "In 2013, the city passed a landmark nondiscrimination ordinance that aligned its policies with those of Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, and Houston. Five years later, it installed the most visible expression of its support for the community: the Rainbow Crosswalk, at the intersection of Evergreen Street and Main Avenue, in the heart of the LGBTQ+ district." - Robin Catalano, Conde Naste Traveler
